Social programme

Since the scientific programme is very dense,there is no room for an extended programme.

However, people attending the Nordic Network of Astrobiology Meeting on "Isotopes as diagnostic tools in astronomy, geology and biology" which takes place in the same venue just after the meeting (11-14 June 2013) will have the possibility to take part in an excursion to the carbon-tertiary boundary formation at Stevns Klint on Monday, 10 June 2013.
